asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, whether the flying machines now generally known as hydro-aeroplanes are to be given an official and less ponderous designation?

My right hon. Friend would welcome suggested alternatives for the term "hydro-aeroplane."

Is not the term commonly used in the Press "water-plane"? Could we not adopt that?

Is not an equally common term "flying boat"?

Could not the right hon. Gentleman adopt the name of the hon. Gentleman (Mr. Burgoyne) himself?

I will take note of all these suggestions.
